Wuppertal's structure is massive and is a result of the technology available at the time.
The Siemens systems in Dortmund and Düsseldorf (see previous page) are much more elegant structure-wise.
It's 6-of-one... I like straddle beam monorails more but I couldn't tell you why. Personal preference. The guideway is a little less obtrusive if the train sits on top since the supports don't have to "reach over".
